Pirates

Pirates are a new type of enemy introduced with the Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty DLC expansion. These enemies are at the same time reskins of the bandit enemies from the main game and an evolution of them.

Cursed Pirates are Badass level pirates. Cursed Pirates are living skeletons, dressed in pirate garb, with hooks for hands. They will spawn with only half health but once they hit you with a melee attack they will begin absorbing health and running away to avoid taking damage. Once defeated, all that remains is the clothing.
